  Gorgeous and more-ish! Used frozen mixed berries (defrosted). Can't wait to make again. The topping did go soggy after freezing but still tasted good.

  Lovely! It does sound like a lot of sugar but my gathered blackberries were seriously sharp so they needed it, if you use sweeter ones I think you could safely cut back on the sugar in the base.

  liked the concept when needing to use up blackberries. made a lot of adjustments though so feel anyone could experiment here. tasted great nonetheless and were fun to make.

  My 8 year old made this yesterday, with minimal help from me. It is delicious! We had frozen strawberries and blueberries so used those instead of blackberries. The smell whilst it was baking was mouthwatering and we couldn't resist trying a small square while it was still warm. He will definitely be making this again.

  Yum yum! I added an apple and didn't put in as much coconut as it's not popular in my house, but the result was a lovely sponge with a fruity topping that went perfectly:) We ate some straight out the oven yesterday, and it was delicious hot (even better with some custard!) and then finished it off cold today, and it was just as good. Would definitely recommend!

  I think there are too many blackberries in this recipe. Mine look great in the tin, nice and crispy on top, but when I tried to cut into squares the blackberries had made it so soft that it was difficult to keep it all together. Still tasted nice though! It would be nice with some custard too.

  I put in 30g less sugar, and 30g more oats, lovely!! It was scrumptious, the only problem is not eating it all at once!

  I reduced the sugar to 250g with no consequence of losing sweetness and they turned out great, also added a bit of extra porridge oats in place of the sugar I omitted.

  Not as good as I hoped! I read previous comments and added less sugar, but forgot about soaking the coconut - I think this would make a huge difference as I found the coconut is just too hard and spoils the texture. Good with custard, though the coconut still gets stuck in your teeth!

  Gorgeous cake, not too heavy but more than a sponge. I have made a few times and each time used various sugars (using a bit less than recipe states) and tweaked the flower/oats ratio depending on my mood! I also soaked the coconut in a little milk as others suggested. Lovely served warm with a bit of cream, makes me want to sprinkle coconut in all crumble toppings now too!

  This time I used fresh blackberries (from a bramble I've been trying to get rid of for 4 years), and the light coloured sugars recommended and the result was fantastic - took it to friends and it was much loved!

  A lovely buttery traybake that was wolfed down within seconds. It wasn't anything particularly special but brilliant with an afternoon cuppa.

  Made this for the MacMillan Coffee Morning and it was delicious, I was hoping that there would be some left over but no such luck!

  Made this recipe yesterday with a load of blackberries I recently picked and it was delicious! Used margarine instead of butter which made the mixture quite wet but consequently produced a lovely moist bake. Mine turned out like a sponge cake. Not sure if it was supposed to but I'd definitely make it again with whichever berries I have to hand.

  This was so easy to make and tastes amazing! As the supermarket didn't have enough blackberries in I used 150g blackberries, 150g raspberries and 150g redcurrants and it makes a great autumn treat. Fresh out the oven I think it could do with a dollop of cream. Oh and I was very naughty and sprinkled extra sugar on top!
